Anna & Kristoff “Frozen” ANNA & KRISTOFF “FROZEN” DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE® – HYPERION THEATER Script: SCENE #4 ANNA Snow, it had to be snow. She couldn’t have had tr-tr-tropical magic and covered the f-f-fjords in white sand and warm... (A wolf howls.) I’m just gonna ignore that. (Calls out.) Elsa! Elsa! (Sees Kristoff) Oh, excuse me, I was just wondering, has another young woman, the Queen perhaps, I don’t know, passed through these parts? Hello? I could use a little help right about now. KRISTOFF You could use a little help? I sell ice for a living. ANNA Ooh, that’s a rough business to be in right now. I mean, that is really... (He glares at her.) Yeah, that’s unfortunate. KRISTOFF Tell me about it. ANNA You know, maybe we could help each other. I need you to take me up the North Mountain. KRISTOFF (Rolls over.) I don’t take people places. ANNA Let me rephrase that. (Tries with conviction.) I am Princess Anna of Arendelle and I want you to take me up the North Mountain. Please.

She started this “winter in the middle of summer thing.” People are calling her a monster, but it was all my fault. I got engaged but then she freaked out because I'd only just met him, you know, that day. And she said she wouldn't bless the marriage... KRISTOFF Wait. You got engaged to someone you just met that day? ANNA Yep. So anyway, I got mad and so she got mad and then she tried to walk away and I grabbed her glove... KRISTOFF Hang on. You mean you got engaged to someone you just met that day? ANNA Yes, can we focus here? So the thing is, she wore gloves all the time, so I thought maybe she has a thing about dirt. KRISTOFF Didn’t your parents ever warn you about strangers? ANNA (Looks at him, slides away.) Yes, they did...But Hans is not a stranger. This is true love.

ANNA You have friends who are love experts? I’m not buying it. KRISTOFF Stop talking. ANNA No, I mean, I’d love to meet these... KRISTOFF I mean it, SHHH! ANNA Why? (A loud wolf cry. They turn and see the glowing eyes, then turn to one another.) ANNA & KRISTOFF GO!!!

  • Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Essay Frozen in Time: How Disney Gender-Stereotypes Its Most Powerful Princess Madeline Streiff 1 and Lauren Dundes 2,* 1 Hastings College of the Law, University of California, 200 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Sociology, McDaniel College, 2 College Hill, Westminster, MD 21157, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-410-857-2534 Academic Editors: Michele Adams and Martin J. Bull Received: 10 September 2016; Accepted: 24 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Disney’s animated feature Frozen (2013) received acclaim for presenting a powerful heroine, Elsa, who is independent of men. Elsa’s avoidance of male suitors, however, could be a result of her protective father’s admonition not to “let them in” in order for her to be a “good girl.” In addition, Elsa’s power threatens emasculation of any potential suitor suggesting that power and romance are mutually exclusive. While some might consider a princess’s focus on power to be refreshing, it is significant that the audience does not see a woman attaining a balance between exercising authority and a relationship. Instead, power is a substitute for romance. Furthermore, despite Elsa’s seemingly triumphant liberation celebrated in Let It Go, selfless love rather than independence is the key to others’ approval of her as queen. Regardless of the need for novel female characters, Elsa is just a variation on the archetypal power-hungry female villain whose lust for power replaces lust for any person, and who threatens the patriarchal status quo. The only twist is that she finds redemption through gender-stereotypical compassion.

Disney's new short film, "Olaf's Frozen Adventure," is playing in theaters ahead of the latest Pixar movie "Coco. If you haven't seen it yet and are wondering what all the fuss is about or are one of people who have showed up late to "Coco" in order to avoid seeing ithere's what "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is about:. Elsa and Anna, with the help of Olaf, are preparing the castle for a big holiday surprise party. When the people of Arrendelle arrive to the castle's courtyard, Kristoff and Sven the reindeer bring the large ceremonial bell. Following tradition, Elsa and Anna ring the bell to signal the A Frozen Christmas (Disney Frozen) of the holiday season. But when they open the castle doors to surprise everyone with a lavish holiday party, Elsa and Anna are surprised and saddened to see everyone turn away and head home. Each family already has their own tradition to carry out, leaving Elsa and Anna alone at the castle. Elsa's new winter dress is stunning. A Frozen Christmas (Disney Frozen) realize they don't have any traditions of their own, since their parents died when they were young and then the two sisters didn't interact much again.

  • Welfare Nostalgia and the Populist Radical Right in the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden
    Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy (2021), 37: 2, 128–141 doi:10.1017/ics.2020.30 ARTICLE Those were the days: welfare nostalgia and the populist radical right in the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden Sven Schreurs Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Email: [email protected] (Received 13 July 2020; revised 6 October 2020; accepted 7 October 2020) Abstract In academia and beyond, it has become commonplace to regard populist parties – in particular, those on the radical right – as the archetypical embodiment of politics of nostalgia. Demand-side studies suggest that nostalgic sentiments motivate populist radical-right (PRR) voting and welfare chauvinist attitudes, yet systematic analyses of the nostalgic discourse that these parties promote have not been forthcoming. This paper seeks to fill that lacuna by analysing how the Freedom Party of Austria, the Dutch Party for Freedom and the Sweden Democrats framed the historical fate of the welfare state in their electoral discourse between 2008 and 2018. It demonstrates that their commitment to welfare chauvinism finds expression in a common repertoire of “welfare nostalgia,” manifested in the different modes of “reaction,”“conservation” and “modernisation.” Giving substance to a widespread intuition about PRR nostalgia, the paper breaks ground for further research into nostalgic ideas about social policy. Keywords: nostalgia; radical right; populism; welfare state; collective memory; welfare chauvinism Introduction Populist political parties and movements are often seen to embody a contemporary politics of nostalgia (Campanella & Dassù, 2019; Kenny, 2017). Those on the radical right, in particular, are perceived as profligate consumers and fervent producers of a nostalgic language that expresses a lost sense of “place” and a longing for “home” (Duyvendak, 2011).

  • Who Benefits from the Southern Gas Corridor?
    RISKY BUSINESS — WHO BENEFITS FROM THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? A Bankwatch Report RISKY BUSINESS — WHO BENEFITS FROM THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? AUTHORS Lorenzo Bagnoli Claudia Ciobanu Apostolis Fotiadis G. T. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Pippa Gallop Elena Gerebizza Sven Haertig David Hoffman Ido Liven Anna Roggenbuck Regine Richter Xavier Sol EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 8 I WHAT IS THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR? 16 II GREECE AND TAP 30 III ITALY AND TAP 48 IV TURKEY AND TANAP 66 CONCLUSIONS 78 REFERENCES 82 THE SOUTHERN GAS CORRIDOR ● trans adriatic pipeline [tap] ● ● trans anatolian pipeline [tanap] ● ● south caucasus pipeline extension [scpx] ● an interactive presentation of this report is available at: www.bankwatch.org/risky-business EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Southern Gas Corridor, a 3,500 kilometre system of pipelines meant to bring gas from Azerbaijan into Europe, is the new pet project of the European Union in the energy sector. It is presented as a panacea for all ills: reducing Europe’s reliance on Russian gas, contributing to the move away from coal, and bringing energy and business to the poorer southeastern Europe. It is set to benefit from some of the biggest loans in the history of European public banks. Critics1 of the pipeline argue that forecasts of gas demand in Europe do not justify this pipeline. Relying on authoritarian Azerbaijan (and Turkey) to secure Europe’s energy needs is not much change from depending on Russia but rather a way to strengthen more tyrants. Massive pipeline projects promoted by the EU in the past, such as Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan, have come with human rights abuses and the militarisation of the route of the pipelines, and that should serve as a warning.
